Napoli boss Ancelotti: 'We don't have the right to say no if Hamsik wants to leave'
While Hamsik had talked about his decision to leave the club last summer, he ended up staying at the club largely because of the presence of Ancelotti at the club. Now though, it seems he is very much intent and set on a move to China.
Ancelotti was asked about the midfielder following Napoli's win over Sampdoria in the league yesterday. And the former Chelsea, Real Madrid and AC Milan boss told Radio Kiss Kiss Napoli: "Hamsik? Let's see what happens. He wants to try a new experience. For what he has done for the club we don't own any of the rights to say no.
"We can only to applaud him if it should happen. He's been great. We do not have a replacement of Hamsik but our players who have been given guarantees to play in that role."
The Slovakian has done well for the partenopei so far this season, having appeared 13 times in the league and he has also appeared about six times in the Champions League, scoring once and assisting once.
